FETAL DOPPLER AND MONITOR

• A fetal doppler is a handheld ultrasound device used to listen to a baby's heartbeat during pregnancy. It uses sound waves to detect and monitor fetal heart rate, often used in prenatal care from the later stages of the first trimester. While often used by healthcare professionals, some over-the-counter models are available for home use, though their accuracy and long-term effects are not fully established.
• A fetal doppler emits ultrasound waves that bounce off the baby's heart, creating a sound that can be heard through the device's speaker.
• Fetal dopplers can also be used to assess blood flow in the umbilical cord and other fetal vessels.
• Fetal dopplers are commonly used in prenatal appointments to monitor fetal well-being, especially in the later stages of pregnancy.
• They help healthcare professionals assess and monitor the baby's heart rate and rhythm, which can indicate potential problems.
• Some individuals choose to use over-the-counter fetal dopplers at home to listen to their baby's heartbeat.
• In medical settings, fetal dopplers are typically used by trained professionals who can interpret the readings and assess fetal health accurately.
